Sneak Peek and Freebie Wednesday

Hi, Sharon here and I am super excited to share a sneak peek of Ramona's new kit that comes out on Friday at ScrapMatters.  I love the blues, yellows and greens shown in this sneak peek!

Also, it's Wednesday, so that means it's time for a freebie!  Who doesn't love a freebie?!  I made a border cluster to coordinate with the beautiful Love U Much kit at ScrapMatters that was released last Friday.  I love the heart stitching and the paint splats in the kit.  This kit is perfect for your Valentine's pictures from yesterday or for the layout you are making to go along with this week's theme of "falling in love".  There is still time to submit your layout for our weekly drawing for a coupon.  Also, if you love freebies, make sure that you are signed up for the weekly newsletter to receive a freebie every week! Hope you enjoy this week's freebie and have a great day!

December 2009

Christmas, 2 years ago, was a great one.  Our little Noah had joined our family in April and was at such a fun age!  We were still living in Saratoga Springs and loving it so much!  2 days before Christmas, we invited my inlaws over for dinner and I tried to make an English feast!  I served roast beef, twice baked potatoes, jell-o and a trifle for dinner!  It was so fun!

For Christmas, Chipper received an ipod touch, Mitchell got a camera, Abby got bendaroo's, which she wanted so bad!  Sam got the Little People farm set, Olivia got another doll and stroller set and Noah received a little walker/ride on toy! 

After opening gifts, we had a large breakfast and just spent the day in our pajamas and enjoying our new things.  We learned later that day that John's grandfather was in the hospital and the day after Christmas, he suffered a stroke.  This was a difficult thing to learn as we love him so much.  He is still with us today, but the stroke that Christmas was the beginning of his debilitation.  It took most of his speech and his ability to care for himself as much as he did before.  It has been hard to watch him suffer.

I can't believe that now, we are just a few days away from Christmas.  It is coming way too fast!  My brother and his wife and their kids are stopping by for lunch today, and I'm very excited for that!  Today, I'm going to try and finish up all the loose ends of a million projects so we can begin our celebration tomorrow!  We like to kick things off with a game day before the actual Christmas eve and Christmas day.  I can't wait to just spend time with the kids and with my hubby!

Here is today's freebie:

Quick Post

I'm going to skip my trip down memory lane this morning!  Sunday's are busy mornings for us and I don't want to put it off until later, either!  So, I'm going to do a quick post and give you the freebie I made!!

I just hate how quickly Christmas is coming!  Do you remember how it just dragged when we were kids?  I want that back! I love this time of year, and it goes by way too quick!  Yesterday, I did some Christmas shopping and we picked up the supplies to make our ugly Christmas sweaters today.  I'll have to post pics!

Here is today's freebie:

These little borders are 12 inches long so you can use part or all of them on your layouts!  Quick and easy way to add a little flare!

Changes Coming

I'm super excited about my plans for November.  I have a whole new look for the blog planned and a really great project!  I can't wait to unveil it all!  Check in each day, as I might give clues as to what is coming and you definitely don't want to miss next Tuesday!!

Today was a rough day.  I woke up in the middle of the night with the flu and spent most of the day on the couch feeling like crap!  My three older kids were also sick, so it was a fun day!  I am praying that tomorrow things are back to normal.  I don't do sick well!

For the freebie tonight, I have two page edgers that are layered, so you can use paper to fancy them up a bit!  Or leave the layer off for a more simple look.
